Just create a new partition before the 2048 sector to use as a grub
bios_grub partition.
For example:
sudo gdisk /dev/sda
p = print
n = new partition
number = 2
start sector = 34 (or as close to zero as you can get)
end sector = 2047
code = EF02
then
s to sort the partitions
and w to write it back to disk
then you should be able to run grub-install on the device.
When you have done this properly, you should see things like this:
$ for a in /dev/sd?; do sudo gdisk -l $a; done;
[...]
Disk /dev/sd?: 5860533168 sectors, 2.7 TiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes
[...]
Total free space is 911 sectors (455.5 KiB)
Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name
1 34 2047 1007.0 KiB EF02
2 2048 5860532223 2.7 TiB FD00
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.0
or similar.
You do *not* need a separate boot partition at all.
